Isaiah
IN THIS LESSON
Isaiah in chapter 7 delivers the remarkable prophecy of Immanuel, a promise that resonates far beyond its original context. Set during a time of political tension and fear, King Ahaz of Judah faces the threat of invasion from neighboring nations. Through Isaiah, God offers Ahaz reassurance and a sign to confirm His protection. However, Ahaz’s refusal to trust in God sets the stage for one of the most profound declarations in Scripture: the prophecy of a virgin giving birth to a son called Immanuel, meaning "God with us." This chapter not only addresses Judah's immediate crisis but also points forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise in Jesus Christ.
